Brandeis University Linguistics and Cognitive Science

Other Information
The concentration in linguistics and cognitive science is designed to give students a foundation in the theory of language and its relationship to allied fields of inquiry. The concentration emphasizes the approach of generative grammar, which attempts to describe formally the nature of a speaker's knowledge of his or her native language and place this knowledge in a psychological and biological framework. In the last 30 years, this approach to the study of language has had a profound influence on fields as diverse as philosophy, psychology, anthropology, and computer science, as well as the linguist's traditional concerns with modern and classical languages and with linguistic universals.

Degrees
